You Are Not A New Yorker

I got remixed!!! One week of What I Wore… Thanks Adam.

This was like watching someone at the Special Olympics have an epileptic seizure, except I am pretty sure they would have more rhythm.

Last night I went out with a few wonderful friends for drinks to celebrate my birthday.  We stumbled across this little underground spot on my street with a doorman standing out in the freezing cold, and we made our way inside.

I loved this place - dim lighting with white tile walls and rustic mirrors, intimate seating arrangements and a mix of old classics and sultry tunes from the DJ all night.  The ambience was perfect for sharing drinks with close friends, and the crowd was just right. I love New York because it is so easy to just run into the perfect place to suit any mood or occasion.

So you wanted to drop that fact that you “found” a cool place to hang out, and then you go as far as to not mention the name, so that other non- New Yorkers don’t find it or ruin it for you.   Really?  Please describe this crowd, I need to know what “just right” means.  Please go back from where you came from.  Please.

Son, do you know what I’m stopping you for?
Cuz I’m young and I’m black and my hat’s real low.

What, a large enough jpeg of the NJ Herald wasn’t available?

Case in point: You used the Daily News instead of the Post. You are not New York.

Mugged!

Details to come. Right now, I’m gonna swaddle myself in fleece blankets, drink a bottle of wine and watch Mad Men.

Nooooooo! Why is everyone getting mugged lat… oh, right, the fucked up economy and probably curtailed police patrols. Old New York is back. Fuck.

What city is everyone decamping to, again? The last three were Philly, Buffalo, and Atlanta. Dunno which one it is this week.

How would you know what Old New York is?  Take your wiffle ball bat, and head back to Jersey.

Folks, we have a new anonyblogger in town! As if we didn’t have enough real-life creeps pulling off muggings, we have Internet creeps who mock everyone’s personal lives without revealing one iota of their own. I’m glad they know enough to avoid saying these things to people in real life, as they’d get their teeth knocked the fuck out if they tried saying shit like this in person.

Anyway, I grew up around here… I maybe didn’t live in the middle of Bed Stuy growing up, but I know enough about 1980’s NYC onward. There are people who have experienced that New York more than I have, but that does not mean that I do not perceive just how different it is today compared to how it used to be.

There’s a pretty good chance that the person who is addressing me knows much less about NYC than I do. Of course, we’ll never know this, because he or she not a real person. He or she is an Internet creep who is afraid to discuss anything personal, because they are afraid of getting caught in real life. Which is fine by me… under a very very big rock is where you belong.

Folks?! Well, I guess you have made enough of an internet mess of yourself to have followers.

Perception is differant from reality. but I know enough about 1980’s NYC onward. How old were you, 3 or 4?  And you really think you can perceive what it was like?  Really?

as they’d get their teeth knocked the fuck out if they tried saying shit like this in person.

Never happen son.  You wouldn’t stand a New York Minute.

Mugged!

Shut the fuck up, dickbag.  New York City is mainly transplants.  Us transplants who have been here long enough know proper sidewalk/subway/cab/bar etiquette.  So eat my big, fat, non existent dick.  xx AntiKris

It’s the transplants that ruined this city.  Thanks, I will give you credit for that.
